I mean he should never have said that just for the political points. But there's no need for anyone to have assault style rifles. But you can't say that in Texas because you'll offend the lunatics. I don't see any Democrat winning Texas for a little while, that place is a goner. I mean look at your senators they're fucking trash people.

If only Texas in Florida led the way to secede we'd all be better off.

Democrats will win Florida in the long run. Republicans hell bent on running on fossil fuels rather than cleaner energy sources. Projections are 99% of Florida will be underwater once the polar ice caps melt. Problem solved.

Jd Vance wins.

What a complete douche. He'll fit in well with Ted Cruz

Hmm Walker leading Warnock in GA now.
But a lot of outstanding votes from Atlanta. But moot since going to a runoff.

Lies upon the Nevada senate seat. If she can win, Fetterman looks good. Georgia won’t matter.

Atlanta votes still coming in the next few hours, but most likely that is going to runoff
This is the most mystifying race of all to me. Warnock should win by twenty or thirty points. Walker is one of the most unqualified candidates ever in a Senate race. And the evangelicals are rallying to him, even after all the lies and contradictions, instead of Warnock, who is a pastor, for crying out loud. Just insane, and a very scary indicator of what politics is coming to.

Looking like a run-off most likely in GA, to be held next month.

Estimated 86% of vote in, nearly 3.6 million votes cast, and currently basically tied, within 1k votes. Need to win by >72k votes to get to >50% to avoid runoff, which neither looks likely to achieve now (the Libertarian has taken those 72k, so far)

You should. If there was nonpartisan redistricting the Democrats would clean the house up. In too many of the shithole red states they redistrict by diluting more urban democratic heavy areas by taking a little piece of that and mixing in with regressive less urban and rural areas. This dilutes the urban vote into small chunks and has them enveloped by the regressive fascist areas of the states.

Yeah in the real world where I can't do shit about red states pulling this crap I'd like blue states to fight fire with fire and gerrymander the gop out of winning anything close to proportional house districts just like the red states do to democrat voters. I'd limit rural voting locations too and make those fuckers have to wait in long lines like urban voters do.

Whoa Hobbs with a 15% lead
I haven’t seen which counties have reported yet. Pima, Santa Cruz, and maybe Yavapai should be strong for Hobbs and Maricopa okay for Hobbs. Every other county will be for Lake. Rural Arizona is owned by the wackjob right.

A gain to 51 from 50 would be huge to keep Manchin from controlling the senate.
